Owner description:
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is Australia's largest, oldest and most popular sporting venue, with a history that compares favourably with any other stadium in the world. The MCG has hosted plenty of international cricket, including the first-ever Test and the 1992 World Cup final, countless VFL/AFL Grand Finals, the 1956 Olympic Games and 2006 Commonwealth Games.Other sporting spectacles include FIFA World Cup soccer qualifiers, rugby league home and away matches and State of Origin and international rugby union clashes.Apart from its sporting events, the MCG has also witnessed many blockbuster music concerts, and even Pope John Paul II held a mass there when he visited Melbourne in 1986.The MCG has a total capacity of 100,018 people, comprising 95,018 seats and 5000 standing room spaces.The stadium also houses the National Sports Museum, which includes some of the most priceless pieces of memorabilia in Australian sporting history.

If you love your sport, the MCG and Sports Museum is a must do. Its amazing to see how much can fit into a stadium. For the sporting mad allow your self 3-4 hours to do the tour and museum. The stadium tour itself last around 1 hour 15mins

When there's 80,000+ people in this place it's like the colloseum reincarnate.
Do yourselves a favour and go and check out a big ticket AFL or cricket match ASAP!!!

This is a fabulous experience for anyone, particularly for sports lovers or history buffs. We thought www would spend a couple of hours, but were so engrossed that we spent a half day here. It is really well done and worth the time, however long you wish to spend!

We visited this on a rainy Melbourne day and it was a perfect place to go, even if you don't have a great interest in football or cricket. It doesn't cost much to enter and yet you get so much for your money young or old. My husband and I went in thinking a hour or so would be enough...
